Well, I did it. I gave a talk to my Lions Club about prosop agnosia. It also covered my other malady, verbal agnosia, so I made it a talk on agnosia conditions...
Congratulations, Owen. Did you enjoy doing it? I've found people are very receptive and because it's completely new to them it becomes more like story-telling...
